Starting with lamb cutlets, the cheapest was Famous Halal Quality Meat & Groceries, where they cost $19.99 a kg.
As part of our search, we also purchased four T-bone steaks (Famous Halal Quality Meat & Groceries does not carry them).
Chicken breast bucked the trend by coming in at least 50 cents cheaper at the supermarkets – costing $14 a kg at both Woolworths and Coles.
A Woolworths spokesperson said it was “difficult to make a like-for-like” comparison between “supermarkets and meat vendors who sell through public marketplaces like the Queen Victoria Market and have different business models and customer offerings”.
“The products sold across retailers can be sourced differently – Woolworths purchases premium cattle and lamb to a very tight quality specification, with its beef being independently certified through the Meat Standards Australia program.
Earlier this year, Guardian Australia found that buying in bulk from Sydney’s fruit and vegetable market cost barely 30% of supermarket prices.

Christ the fact the dude couldn’t just leave it at ‘no shit dedicated butchers sell meat at cheaper prices’ but had to paragraph anout their quality pisses me off sdm. Cram your sales pitch up your arse, your meat is generally shittier than butchers
Theirs may be better. And theirs may be cheaper. But we pay cerrifiers to make sure our quality meets the strictest standards of acceptable for human consumption.
This is the best summary I could come up with:

You know you want the minimum standards. And we strive to meet them.
